Collision in Eureka injures 2 pedestrians

Two pedestrians were injured -- with one trapped under a vehicle -- after two cars collided in Eureka this afternoon, according to officials.

Eureka Police Department Officer Greg Hill said a green Subaru and blue Hyundai crashed at Seventh and H streets around 3:25 p.m. after the Subaru apparently failed to stop for a red light.

"The Hyundai was pushed near the crosswalk and collided with the female pedestrian, causing minor injuries to her leg," Hill said. "The vehicle then continued southbound on the sidewalk and hit a male pedestrian, who was either standing or walking on the sidewalk."

Both pedestrians were transported to St. Joseph Hospital, according to Hill. He said the man sustained moderate injuries.

No names are currently being released, and the investigation is ongoing, Hill said.

The Hyundai also ran into a control box, which temporarily shut down a traffic signal at the intersection.
